Main features

Lightweight, portable and fully open-sourced

Alternatives are either bloated, or not open-sourced, or both. They are a security vulnerability waiting to happen.

Or they require you to install them, and cannot be run in portable mode - leaving a lot of trash files in your PC.

Some even require admin permissions to run (!!).

Debloats the driver install

Minimall install feature showcase

Stops the NVIDIA spyware from being installed on your computer. You choose EXACTLY which components of the driver you actually want to install.

Multi Driver Support

Provides an optional list of older compatible versions. Easily downgrade when facing bugs, or switch between Game Ready Drivers (GRD) and Studio (SD) drivers.

One-click autorun on login

Check for driver updates in the background on user login with one click in the Configuration Menu.

Be sure to check out the wiki to learn more about how to use TNUC.
